fcostantino@us.ntt.net2019-01-07T17:07:33+09:00New Year's Message from the President & CEOhttps://www.eu.ntt.com/en/about-us/press-releases/news/article/new-year-s-message-from-the-president---ceo.html
Happy New Year! I am delighted to extend my sincere greetings to NTT Com's many loyal clients and partners as well as all other stakeholders.
This coming July 1, NTT Com will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Over the past 20 years, innovation in information and communication technology (ICT) has disrupted existing ways of business and led to dramatic changes in the business world. We have seen hyperscalers sweep across national borders to take dominant positions in local markets and aggressive startups shake industries to their very foundations.
Companies have not only adapted to such changes, they have been compelled to proactively pursue digital transformation (DX) and thereby fundamentally change their own companies as well.
When NTT Com was founded in 1999, our tagline was "Change Communications." Today, as we near the end of the Heisei era in the Japanese calendar, NTT Com is being re-born as a DX Enabler™, which expresses our resolve to help change the world through digital technology.
Under this new approach, we will leverage comprehensive "One NTT" strengths to help clients achieve their DX goals. For example, this year we will begin offering a new "data distribution platform" as a strong and reliable foundation for DX initiatives. Through our multi-orchestrator system, this platform will be used for a comprehensive range of data collection, including IoT, AI-based data analysis and more, to help clients meet diverse needs.
Our multi-orchestrator system will take advantage of software-defined flexible architecture based on "Enterprise Cloud" and "SDx+M" for the delivery of many of our existing services, and also to automatically orchestrate virtualized functions on an optimized basis in each client's ICT environment.
Our flexible and highly reliable new platform, which only NTT Com can provide, is based on the NTT Group's Cognitive Foundation®* concept of deploying of agile and lean ICT solutions through multivendor and multi-domain integration and process automation.
At the same time, using data securely and safely is becoming increasingly important in view of the many natural disasters that occurred in Japan last year, as well as continuing security threats and accidents involving personal information. Notably, our data distribution platform will not use client data for NTT Com's own purposes. It will be a highly transparent and securely managed environment, where clients will be able to access their data as required for business needs. This is one of the ways we will propose new ethical and privacy practices that are truly suited to the digital era.
Meanwhile, we are also pursuing DX for our own internal purposes under our "Re-born" initiative. By thoroughly integrating our global businesses and accordingly transforming our Japanese businesses, we plan to significantly strengthen our competitiveness both inside and outside Japan in 2019. Furthermore, we will leverage our One NTT group strengths to increasingly expand our digital capabilities.
As a symbol of our Re-born initiative, we will move headquarters in Tokyo from our Hibiya building to our new Otemachi Place building on January 4. Our new office is a state-of-the-art work environment designed to maximize collaborative creativity and fully utilize new technologies, including SDx and IoT. It will be our base for new ideas and innovations upon which NTT Com will be re-born.
During this auspicious year, Japan will host the 2019 Rugby World Cup and continue preparing for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. NTT Com is deeply committed to supporting the success of both global events.
I'm very pleased to extend my New Year's greetings to all of you, and very best wishes for a happy and prosperous year in 2019!
*NTT Group's innovative Cognitive Foundation architecture enables remote creation, management and operation of information and communications technology (ICT) resources, from devices and networks to the cloud.

Commenting on the news, Arkadin CEO, Didier Jaubert, said: "We're thrilled NTT Group is recognized by Gartner as a Challenger in this Magic Quadrant. In our view, the industry is evolving at an exponential rate as more businesses look to cloud-based UC solutions to improve interactions across their workforce. Being a part of NTT Group enables Arkadin to provide a full stack and full lifecycle service to our customers, whilst also continuing to invest in the technology that will empower businesses to take digital transformation to the next level."
Nemo Verbist, Group Executive GTM for Digital Workplace, Dimension Data said: "We feel privileged to be part of NTT Group, where, as a collective, we can provide a full stack, full lifecycle service to our customers. We consider our positioning in the Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide by Gartner to be a testament to our mission to enable customers to unlock the power of information to improve business performance. We believe this is an important step in the right direction while we continue to innovate and execute on our product roadmap to achieving Modern Collaboration. We feel that it is encouraging to see Gartner recognising our efforts in this area which will, in turn, drive us to invest in technology that will help to bring our digital transformation capabilities to the next level."
Junichi Kudo, Senior Vice President of NTT Communications, said "We believe Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) plays a vital role in digital transformation initiatives for enterprises. Our ambition is to offer innovative UC&C solutions that will address complex social issues by orchestrating unique expertise and assets spanning NTT Group companies.

Santa Clara, Calif. – Dec. 18, 2018 – RagingWire Data Centers, Inc., the premier data center provider in North America and part of the global data center platform of NTT Communications (NTT Com), the information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (TYO: 9432), today announced that it has purchased land and has begun developing a new world-class, 16 megawatt data center "California Silicon Valley 1 (SV1) Data Center" in Santa Clara, the heart of the tech capital of the world – Silicon Valley.
Planned for availability in July 2020, RagingWire's SV1 marks the company's entry into the Silicon Valley region, which is widely known as the No. 2 data center market in the United States behind Ashburn, Va., in terms of commissioned power. RagingWire also has significant data center campuses in Ashburn, Va., Dallas, Texas, and Sacramento, Calif., and has purchased land in Chicago, Ill. for a new data center development.
"This is an important milestone in our company's history," said RagingWire President and CEO Doug Adams. "With the addition of Silicon Valley to our portfolio, we now have data center options in the top three data center markets – Ashburn, Silicon Valley, and Dallas – plus land for build-to-suit data centers in Chicago, the #4 U.S. data center market, and we are part of the global data center platform of NTT Com in over 20 countries and regions."
Highly coveted by major IT firms and public cloud providers, new data center space in Santa Clara is also extremely rare. The vacancy rate is less than 8 percent among the more than 30 data centers operating within an area of 3.5 square miles in Santa Clara. To address this demand, RagingWire is now accepting first customer commitments and leases for SV1.
"The supply of wholesale data center space in Silicon Valley is constrained," said Kelly Morgan, Vice President at 451 Research. "Many providers no longer have room to expand, and it is difficult to find suitable land with the necessary power and environmental characteristics needed to obtain permits. New data center space in Silicon Valley, particularly Santa Clara, is typically leased before it is available and commissioned."
With SV1, RagingWire is delivering data center space designed for hyperscale cloud companies and large enterprises with the capability for them to customize their data vaults. The 160,000 square-foot, four-story facility is being built on a 3.3 acre site, with 64,000 square feet of data floor space and 16 megawatts of scalable, critical IT power. SV1 is fed by Silicon Valley Power, which has rates that are 25 to 40 percent lower than other Bay Area power companies, is rated in the top 5% in the U.S. for reliability, and has been nationally honored for its renewable energy programs.
A compelling structural attribute of SV1 is its seismic stability system that reduces shocks from earthquakes. This state-of-the-art design utilizes a base isolation system that incorporates a combination of subterranean pendulum isolation and viscous dampers to protect the building and everything inside it.
The same base isolation system was used by RagingWire's parent company, NTT Com, to save its data centers in Tokyo, Japan from damage during a 9.1-magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011. That event became the costliest natural disaster in history, causing approximately $235 billion of damage, but the NTT Com's data centers protected with this system were unharmed.
SV1 is designed for flexibility and scale, with options for dedicated electrical and mechanical infrastructure. The facility features a rich ecosystem of connectivity options to major carriers, cloud providers, content networks, and other data centers.
For exceptional security, SV1 uses a building-within-a-building design, biometric identification systems, intelligent high-definition video cameras that analyze suspicious behavior, anti-tailgate mantraps, an anti-climb perimeter fence, and a security gate that can stop a 15,000-pound truck traveling at 30 mph.
Conveniently located in Santa Clara, less than four miles from San Jose International Airport, SV1 is less than two miles from the Bayshore Freeway, and less than one mile from the San Tomas Expressway.

2018-12-04T10:49:36+09:00NTT Communications Expands its DDoS Protection Services with New Auto-Mitigation Solutionhttps://www.eu.ntt.com/en/about-us/press-releases/news/article/ntt-communications-expands-its-ddos-protection-services-with-new.html
New York – December 3, 2018 – NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (TYO: 9432), announced that it is further expanding its DDoS Protection Services (DPS) with the addition of DPS Max. The new solution is the most advanced tier of service for Global IP Network (GIN) customers that require full protection from DDoS attacks, including attack detection and auto-mitigation capabilities.
DDoS attacks can strike at any time, potentially crippling network infrastructure and severely degrading the performance and reachability of a website or other IP-accessible system. Depending upon the type and severity of an attack, the impact can result in significant losses in revenue and damaged assets and, most importantly, in unpleasant experiences for end users.
"The security and protection of our network and our customers' networks is a top priority for our company," said Michael Wheeler, executive vice president of the NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America. "We are focused on providing a wide-ranging suite of services and tools for network security and protection, including mitigation of DDoS attacks and black hole filtering. DPS Max enhances our offering and gives customers more solution options and the opportunity to choose the level of support they need."
NTT Com's DPS product suite also includes DPS Control, DPS Core and DPS Detect. DPS Control is an entry-level tier of service intended for customers that don't require full mitigation assistance. DPS Core is the initial level of service for customers that need full DDoS mitigation support. DPS Detect provides an advanced level of service as it adds detection capabilities to help identify potential attacks using state-of-the-art technology while working with customer-defined thresholds.
The new DPS Max offers the highest level of service and provides the features of DPS Core and DPS Detect, while adding automatic mitigation capabilities. With auto-mitigation, Global IP Network customers are able to have an attack mitigated immediately because the company's DDoS mitigation platform detects attacks and automatically initiates mitigations based upon customer-defined thresholds. When the platform notices that an attack has ended, it automatically stops the mitigation, returning the customer's traffic to their normal, pre-attack routing.
Subscribers to DPS Max have access to the Network Security Team, the same expert team responsible for keeping the tier-1 Global IP Network infrastructure safe and secure, and also enjoy exclusive use of the company's DPS Portal, a platform where they can review past mitigation reports and request configuration changes, among many features.

NEW YORK and LONDON – October 23, 2018 – While the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to drive the next wave of online innovation, it needs to be grounded on secure networks that prevent cyber criminals from hacking into the myriad of IoT-enabled devices that they are increasingly connecting. This is just one of the top line industry assessments provided today by NTT Communications Corp. (NTT Com), a company that owns and operates one of the world’s largest IP backbones and is the data and global IP service arm of Fortune 500 telecom leader NTT.
IoT Has Massive Potential to Innovate, But First Needs to Be Secure
“The Internet of Things revolution has tremendous potential to enhance and improve daily life by enabling our devices to connect and communicate with our other devices,” said Michael Wheeler, executive vice president of NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America. “The key to facilitating the IOT is creating a network foundation that enables these applications and services to function in a safe and secure manner.”
According to results of the NTT Security 2018 Global Threat Intelligence Report, a survey of about 1,350 companies showed that nearly 60 percent of respondents see IoT as a potential security threat to their organizations. Gartner, a research and advisory company, recently found that nearly 20 percent of organizations observed at least one IoT-based attack in the last three years. Gartner also predicts that by 2020 IoT will play a part in more than 25 percent of cyberattacks.
“IoT continues to gain momentum and, in response to that, businesses need to proactively protect against IoT-related cyberattacks,” added Wheeler. “Because of the growing universe of connected devices, software and carriers in the IoT ecosystem, there’s also a need for increased industry collaboration to ensure a seamless and secure IoT experience for everyone.”
Insights from recent memcached-driven DDoS attacks and incidents involving Mirai-infected IoT botnets show that industry cooperation plays a key role in keeping networks and users safe. “I think carriers feel the responsibility to collaborate and communicate as much as possible and do so in the context of our roles within the broader Internet,” Wheeler concluded on this issue.
Michael Wheeler will participate in the Capacity Europe conference in London in the session “Characterizing the High-Quality Networks Required to Meet the IoT Data Demand” on Wednesday October 24 at 9:30 am. More details here.
Customization as Best Defense Against Cyberattacks
The first half of 2018 has seen a wider and more varied range of cyberattacks focused on denial of service, route hijacking and crypto currency theft. As a result, organizations are seeking customized security plans that align with their specific risk profile.
“When it comes to network security, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution,” said Wheeler. “It really comes down to assessing each business area that needs protection and, along the way implementing iterative enhancements that provide the comprehensive security solutions that are required. To achieve this, global network operators are increasingly working with each customer’s internal IT teams, third-party vendors and industry groups to ensure that solutions are as customized as possible for each client.”
Having contingency plans in place can also help to mitigate the impact of any breaches that may occur.
“From a network security perspective, every company has to establish what they believe their risk profile is based on a number of factors, and then ultimately identify what they're going to do to address the risk profile that has been defined,” Wheeler added.
Darren Grabowski, Manager of the Network Security team of the NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America, will participate in the Capacity Europe conference in London in the session “Marginalizing Fraud and Safeguarding Networks – How is the Industry Paving the Way with Novel Technologies and Innovative Systems” on Thursday, October 25 at 10:00 am. More details here.
Growing Adoption of Automation in Global Networks
Many carriers continue to leverage automation, including software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV), as a strategic approach to reducing operational expenditures, improving customer experience and lowering the occurrence of human errors.
“Router maintenance is a great example of a non-standard way in which automation has improved our delivery of service to customers and increased efficiency,” said Wheeler. “By using our automation system, we can pre-load all of the card swaps and configuration changes in advance so that a major migration is completed in just a few hours. In the past, this was a manual process that would have taken a few days of maintenance work.”
NTT Com has been a proponent of automation and SDN at the network management level for nearly two decades.
“We’ve been incorporating automation within AS2914 since the late 1990s and, as a result, what we have today is extremely sophisticated and comprehensive,” said Wheeler. “Automation is a win-win as it creates efficiencies and reduces costs for carriers while, at the same time, improving their customers’ network experience.”

2018-10-23T09:50:00+09:00McLaren and NTT Com to Deploy New SDx Technology at the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix 2018https://www.eu.ntt.com/en/about-us/press-releases/news/article/mclaren-and-ntt-com-to-deploy-new-sdx-technology-at-the-formula-.html
TOKYO, JAPAN — McLaren Formula 1 (F1) Team and its technology partner NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (TYO:9432), announced today plans to launch on October 5 a new software-defined-everything (SDx) technology on a temporary basis for deployment during the F1 Japanese Grand Prix 2018. The "Suzuka Special" network will speed up trackside communication for faster, more flexible in-race strategizing, including cloud-based telemetry data analysis, a key to successful F1 racing. The network will be deployed at Suzuka Circuit, Japan and the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, UK as well as in the team's cloud infrastructure network in Europe.
New NFV infrastructure and uCPE for faster, more flexible network
The new network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure will comprise a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), WAN accelerator, unified threat management (UTM) and web proxy. The virtualized network functions will be connected with service-chaining technology for fast, flexible network settings. Also, NTT Com will deploy universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) at both Suzuka Circuit and the McLaren Technology Centre by utilizing a white-box CPE base, which will facilitate flexible installation of required software. NFV infrastructure, namely UTM, web proxy and uCPE, including SD-WAN and WAN accelerator software installed in the white-box CPE, will be used to establish an Internet gateway and SD-WAN at the F1 race track for an extra-fast network for solving network latency.
Optimized routing via Microsoft cloud infrastructure
When a public cloud is connected via the Internet and passes through multiple ISPs, ISPs farthest from the cloud infrastructure typically slow the network and lower performance quality. The Suzuka Special network, however, will optimize direct routing to Microsoft's Azure and Office 365 by connecting the NFV infrastructure and Microsoft's cloud network, bypassing the Internet. Consequently, the McLaren garage at Suzuka Circuit will have high-speed, route-optimized connection to the cloud. In addition, the NFV infrastructure and uCPE will benefit from high-speed connection to a multi-cloud, including NTT Com's Enterprise Cloud, a hybrid cloud environment supporting traditional and cloud-native ICT for highly secure and stable operations with designed-in flexibility and agility.
Suzuka Special Network
Tatsuya Yamashita, Head of NTT Com's Technology Development Division, said: "McLaren has been using NTT Com's SD-WAN service with zero downtime for the entire 2018 season, beginning at the Australian Grand Prix. We are now delighted to introduce our new NFV infrastructure for the Japanese Grand Prix. The superior ICT solutions NTT Com is providing as a trusted technology partner are not only giving McLaren a competitive edge in F1 racing, but also are providing us with invaluable insight into potential solutions for our general enterprise customers' digital transformations."
McLaren utilizes cloud services such as NTT Com's Enterprise Cloud and Microsoft's Microsoft Azure and Office 365 to analyze in-racing data of up to 100GB. McLaren had been using cloud infrastructure at the McLaren Technology Centre and across Europe, but network latency was a challenge for connections from race tracks outside the region. For the 2018 season, McLaren is adopting NTT Com's broadband networks utilizing SDx technology at all 21 F1 events. During the F1 Japanese Grand Prix 2018, NTT Com will test cloud utilization via diverse circuits worldwide with NFV infrastructure and uCPE.

2018-08-15T09:43:59+09:00NTT Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Managed Security Services 2018 Vendor Assessmenthttps://www.eu.ntt.com/jp/about-us/press-releases/news/article/ntt-named-a-leader-in-idc-marketscape--asia-pacific-managed-secu.html
Tokyo, Japan; 8 August 2018 – Four companies of the NTT Group (Dimension Data, NTT Communications, NTT DATA, NTT Security) today announced that it has been recognized as a "Leader" in both execution capabilities and strategies in the latest IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Managed Security Services 2018 Vendor Assessment.
In the IDC MarketScape report, 19 organizations in 2017–2018 that offer managed security services (MSS) in Asia/Pacific including NTT Group were assessed against their existing capabilities and responsiveness to prevailing market demands and expected buyer needs, as well as preparedness for cyber threats. The latest accolade marks the 3rd consecutive time NTT Group has been identified as the top industry leader among Asia/Pacific MSS providers.

IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Managed Security Services 2018 Vendor Assessment (doc #AP42609818e, June 2018). The report can be viewed here.
The IDC report cited the integrated yet effective touch point NTT customers have as a key strength. In addition, excellent customer experience also includes a smooth setup process, dedicated delivery operation, providing industry benchmark.
NTT's threat detection capabilities are highly praised, especially around the accuracy level by its customers. In addition, the cloud-based, searchable raw data logs that can be used to assist with incident investigations and compliance queries are a highly regarded functionality that NTT has.
The proprietary MSS platform closely connects with its threat intelligence database to protect organizations and ensure service delivery consistency across multiple regions which IDC noted was particularly important for enterprise wide security monitoring and management, vulnerability lifecycle management and custom managed detection and response. The MSS solution also provides optimized security through NTT Group's unique insight, advanced analytics and applied threat intelligence over and above what can usually be done in-house.
In addition, four companies of the NTT Group (Dimension Data, NTT Communications, NTT DATA, NTT Security) added the following comments.
Neville Burdan, General Manager for Security, Dimension Data:
"As part of the NTT Group, we are delighted to be recognised as a ‘Leader' in the latest IDC Marketscape. This is a clear demonstration of the combined strength we have as a Group in delivering trusted, agile security solutions which mitigate the growing proliferation of cyber risks and the ever-increasing sophistication of cybercrime in today's hybrid environment. The Group's broad cybersecurity capabilities and consulting-led approach helps our global client base navigate this complex environment, whilst supporting them in enabling digital transformation and minimising risk."
Fumitaka Takeuchi, Vice President of the Managed Security Service Taskforce, Corporate Planning Department, NTT Communications:
"Considering how greatly digital transformation is altering the businesses environment and how broadly company needs are diversifying, ICT has become a key business factor and its strategies have become as important as core business strategies. To assure all-important business continuity, it is crucial for companies to manage both foreseen and unforeseen risks in their ICT environments, including risks due to external attacks as well as internal wrongdoing. NTT Com spares no effort to serve as a reliable partner to help companies succeed in their digital transformations. NTT Com will continue striving to deliver solutions that enable customers to leverage their data with ease and to create new value."
Hiroshi Honjo, Head of Cyber Security and Governance, Technology and Innovation General Headquarters, NTT DATA:
"As digital business grows, dramatic changes are taking place in the environment surrounding applications and infrastructures. Security is an extremely important agenda in managing business in order to securely provide diversifying services. NTT DATA will continue to work closely with NTT Group and various partners and help clients provide their services safely and securely by providing trusted security services encompassing consulting, application development, solutions and operations. "
Martin Schlatter, CIO and Regional CEO, APAC, NTT Security:
"The global economy is becoming increasingly interconnected with the digital landscape. Organizations become lucrative targets to cyber criminals, making cyber security a critical part of any organization's risk management strategy. The lack of internal resource to keep pace with a growing cyber security challenge means that it's no longer possible for many organizations to tackle all aspects of information security management in-house."
NTT Group enables organizations to accelerate their digital agenda through securing the foundation of a connected society. With a large resource base of certified security experts and global R&D activities to respond to the changing threat environment, brings wider benefits to provide our customers unique capabilities for risk mitigation.

2018-08-08T09:52:11+09:00NTT takes new steps to grow its global business, drive innovation going forwardhttps://www.eu.ntt.com/en/about-us/press-releases/news/article/ntt-takes-new-steps-to-grow-its-global-business--drive-innovatio.html
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT Corporation) is pleased to announce several initiatives to be implemented soon. These steps will help us become more competitive and profitable, and create new ways of serving clients and society through our global business.
1. Why we need to transform
Our operating companies – NTT Communications, Dimension Data, NTT DATA, and NTT Security –have continued to evolve and grow their respective capabilities. NTT Group has also been driving collaboration across these operating companies with great success. To date, these activities have resulted in collective revenue outside of Japan of U.S. $20 billion.
The global market is changing fast. We've seen rapid progress in technology innovation; disruption caused by new business models, and the aggressive expansion of innovative competitors. These factors have led to clients' increasing demand for digital transformation. We believe it's an opportunity for us to create new value and increase our presence in the global market.
2. What we plan to do
(1) Establish a new holding company focused on global business
We're establishing a new global holding company under NTT Corporation by the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. This entity will be called NTT, Inc., and Jun Sawada, current CEO of NTT Corporation, will also serve as its CEO. Estimated operating revenue of NTT, Inc. is approximately U.S. $38 billion with U.S. $20 billion already coming from outside Japan (consolidated figures, based on the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018).
By the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, NTT Communications, Dimension Data, NTT DATA, NTT Security, and NTTi3 will be transferred to NTT, Inc. and will align together under its new leadership.
While making NTT Group more competitive and profitable, our global governance will also benefit from embracing and integrating our people's diverse talents, skills, and management experience in global markets. The new structure will leverage their expertise to its maximum potential.
In addition, by the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, we'll consider integrating these businesses – except NTT DATA – into two new businesses. One will look after our global business; the other will cater for our domestic business in Japan.
NTT DATA will continue to collaborate with other companies in the Group while retaining its present management structure, status as a listed company, management autonomy and brand.
(2) Expanding our global R&D capability
Further steps will include creating a new global innovation fund: NTT Venture Capital, L.P. (a limited partnership), which will help us evolve our global innovation. With this new fund, we'll activate investment in high-growth areas such as digital technology.
We'll also intensify our R&D activities in global markets by using a global network of experts from advanced academic research institutions and venture-capital communities around the world.

NEW YORK – June 13, 2018 – NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the information and communications technology (ICT) solutions business within the NTT Group (TYO: 9432), today announced it has been named a U.S. market leader in Managed Hosting by Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
NTT Com was cited the ISG Provider LensTM Infrastructure & Data Center/Private Cloud Quadrant Report, published last week. NTT Com was one of only five service providers, together with its sister company NTT DATA, named a leader in the report's Managed Hosting-U.S. quadrant.
The ISG Provider Lens Quadrant report cited NTT Com for a number of key strengths, including its large client base, broad portfolio of services and data center power redundancy capabilities. "NTT Communications has a large client base for traditional dedicated managed hosting services and for those with cloud-like features. The latter is supported by VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, OpenStack, Microsoft Azure Stack and Bare metal platforms," the report said. The report also noted that NTT Com acquired Secure-24 to extend its footprint in the U.S. market for managed services, complementing the services it was already providing through its NTT Communications Managed Services division.
"NTT Communications offers managed hosting services that cover a broad range of operating systems and databases, including support for open source technologies. It has an aggressive M&A plan in place to augment its global network of more 140 data centers," wrote Jan Erik Aase, director and principal analyst for ISG Research.
The ISG Provider Lens Quadrant report evaluated 40 service providers that offer infrastructure sourcing services, including 26 that offer managed and transformation services globally. ISG also evaluates in separate quadrants providers that serve the U.S. market with managed and transformation services, managed hosting services and colocation services.
NTT Com's inclusion in the latest ISG Provider Lens Quadrant report is based upon information submitted to ISG. Vendors are evaluated and positioned according to a transparent ISG methodology.

2018-06-13T13:55:00+09:00NTTドコモ・ベンチャーズがInbentaへ出資 NTTコミュニケーションズのAI事業強化を推進https://www.eu.ntt.com/jp/about-us/press-releases/news/article/ntt-docomo-ventures-invests-in-inbenta.html
株式会社NTTドコモ・ベンチャーズ(本社：東京都港区、代表取締役社長：中山俊樹、以下 ドコモ・ベンチャーズ)は、同社の運用するNTTグループのファンドを通じて、自然言語処理を用いたAI技術を提供する米国のスタートアップ企業Inbenta Technologies Inc. (本社：米国カリフォルニア州フォスターシティー、CEO：Jordi Torras、以下 Inbenta)に対して、2018年5月に出資を行いました。
本出資によって、同じくNTTグループであり、既にInbentaの技術を活用したサービスを提供しているNTTコミュニケーションズ株式会社(本社：東京都千代田区、代表取締役社長：庄司哲也、以下 NTT Com)は、同社との連携を深めるとともに、AI事業の強化を推進していきます。
NTT Comは、Inbenta独自のAI技術である、文章の意味を理解することが可能な「意味検索エンジン」に関する日本市場での独占販売権を有しており、2017年1月より、当該エンジンを活用した「Semantic Search Engine “COTOHA (コトハ) Chat & FAQ®”」(以下「COTOHA Chat & FAQ」)を提供してきました。
「COTOHA Chat & FAQ」はこれまで、Inbentaの技術にNTTグループのサービスを組み合わせることで、お客さまのニーズにお応えしてきました。例えば、NTTグループの有人チャットシステムとの連携や、過去の対応履歴などから同サービスに必要なFAQデータベースの作成を代行するサービスの提供により、さまざまなお客さまの顧客接点の高度化に貢献してきています。
このたびのInbentaとの更なる関係強化により、今後は他社SaaSと組み合わせた活用も可能となることに加え、NTT Comの音声系サービスやNTT研究所の自然言語処理技術などNTTグループの技術を取り入れて、「COTOHA Chat & FAQ」の利便性をいっそう高めてまいります。
(参考1) InbentaのAIエンジンについて
Inbentaが提供する自然言語処理を用いたAIエンジンは、自然な会話文章に加えて、誤字脱字などがある文章も理解することができ、ユーザーが入力した質問の意図を的確に読み取ることができます。また、WebサイトにあるFAQ検索ボックスにInbentaのAIエンジンを実装することによって、ユーザーの質問に対して高い回答精度を実現することが可能です。さらに、問合せ対応を行うチャットボットも提供しており、人間と対話しているかのように返答することができます。このため、オペレーターの代理としてAIが24時間365日のお客さま対応を行うことができます。
(参考2)「COTOHA Chat & FAQ」について
Webサイトの利用者(以下、ユーザー)が入力した質問に対して適切な回答を表示し、ユーザー自身で疑問を解決できるよう支援する企業向けのサービスです。「意味検索エンジン」によって、キーワードマッチ方式のみを用いた検索よりも精度の高い回答を見つけられることが特長です。
ユーザーは、必要な情報をWeb上で探す手間が大幅に減り、より多くの疑問を自己解決できるようになります。これにより、本サービスの導入企業は、問い合わせ対応などにおける業務効率化を実現できます。
またチャットボット型をはじめ、検索ボックスや問合せフォーム、LINEなどさまざまなインターフェースで実装できるほか、FAQ検索の管理・分析機能によって、ユーザーの問合せ傾向や適切な回答を提示できた率などの分析を行うことができるため、顧客満足度の向上に貢献します。

The value of services
•The Tokyo No.10 Data Center with top-level reliability
The Tokyo No. 10 Data Center is located in Mitaka, near central Tokyo, in a dedicated space within NTT DATA's Mitaka Data Center EAST (Mitaka EAST), Japan's largest-level data center. Compatible with the most rigorous standards for equipment and operation, the Tokyo No. 10 Data Center offers services for a wide range of cloud/IT service providers, mission-critical financial institutions, and more.
The Mitaka EAST area is ranked as Tokyo's most earthquake-safe location according to research conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The building uses advanced seismic isolation designs, such as unique dampers to absorb vertical shock in the event of a large epicentral earthquake, as well as conventional horizontal shock absorption systems.
Network connection has been made safer than those of conventional data centers through the use of a dedicated underground cable tunnel. Electric power is delivered via two separate lines and in the event of a disaster or equipment failure, power supply can be switched to two other substations for top-level reliability. All equipment for electric power, air conditioning, power sources and network are fully redundant, assuring a safe and secure environment 24/7. Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) enables customers to directly check system operating status and manage the wiring of racked equipment. Customers can take advantage of NexcenterTM services for equipment monitoring, technological support and project management, as well as security, network and storage services (please see Appendix).
•Enterprise Cloud services
Tokyo No. 10 Data Center customers also benefit from Enterprise Cloud services, now offered at 19 data centers in 11 countries/regions. The service combines dedicated and OpenStack multi-tenant cloud infrastructure for environments that deliver reliability and availability for core systems and the agility and flexibility for business expansion and other specific needs.
•High-quality, high-reliability global network
Tokyo No. 10 Data Center connects directly with NTT Com's network infrastructure platforms to provide high-quality, high-reliability, large-capacity services. Customers can use, for example, NTT Com's SD-Exchange software-defined connections for colocation and cloud, Arcstar Universal One global VPN leveraging NFV/SDN technologies, OCN Internet connectivity and Global IP Network. Common global systems can be built easily for business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery.
To facilitate the digital transformation of businesses, enterprises are demanding increasingly complex and diversified ICT environments. Needs are rising for hybrid ICT environments that combine the security and reliability for core tasks and the flexibility and agility to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT) and fintech. NTT Com's new Tokyo No. 10 Data Center meets these needs by offering top-level reliability for hybrid ICT solutions that integrate data center, cloud and network infrastructure platforms, assuring enterprise customers of ICT environments designed for core tasks as well as rapid expansion.
Going forward, NTT Com will continue to strengthen its hybrid ICT solutions to support the digital transformations of its customers.

2018-04-20T09:51:00+09:002018シーズンFormula1グランプリ全21戦でNTT ComのSDx技術を導入https://www.eu.ntt.com/jp/about-us/press-releases/news/article/ntt-communications--sd-wan-gives-mclaren-racing-an-edge-for-2018.html
McLaren F1チーム(本拠地：英国ウォーキング、以下 マクラーレン)とNTTコミュニケーションズ株式会社(以下 NTT Com)は、2018年3月23日から開幕する2018シーズンのFormula1(以下 F1)グランプリ全21戦において、各サーキットと英国ロンドン郊外のウォーキングにあるマクラーレン・テクノロジー・センターを結ぶネットワーク(以下 トラックサイドネットワーク※1)に、NTT ComのSDx技術※2を導入します。
これにより、マクラーレンは、ネットワーク帯域を柔軟に制御できるセキュアなICT環境での、テレメトリーデータ※3の安全・迅速・効率的な送受信を実現し、レース中のより高度な戦略立案を目指します。
1.背景・概要
マクラーレンは、昨年10月に開催されたF1日本グランプリのトラックサイドネットワークにNTT ComのSDx技術を導入し、鈴鹿サーキットと英国のマクラーレン・テクノロジー・センター間における、安全・迅速・効率的な大容量データ送信に成功しました。そこで、2018シーズンは、F1グランプリ全21戦に、SDx技術を活用した広帯域ネットワークを導入することで、レース中のより高度な戦略立案へ挑戦します。
2.特長
(1)「SD-WAN」を活用した柔軟なネットワーク
「SD-WAN」は、既存のVPN回線と、インターネット回線などの各サーキットでチームごとに敷設可能な回線(以下 補完回線)を柔軟に組み合わせることができるため、帯域拡張と、優先順位に応じた効率的なデータ伝送を実現します。さらに、これまでVPN回線経由で接続していた、PITガレージのインターネット回線やパドックのゲスト用Wi-Fi回線などを、補完回線経由に変更することで、重要なデータをVPN回線で優先的に送信できるようになります。また、4K／8Kなどの高解像度・高精細な大容量動画データを利用する場合でも、それらを補完回線に振り分けることで、VPN回線が逼迫し、重要なデータがパケットロスすることを回避できます。
(2)世界6カ国※4に広がる「NFV基盤※5」を活用し、WANアクセラレータ※6やUTM※7機能を迅速に提供
欧米亜の世界6カ国に構築した「NFV基盤」のうち、各サーキットから一番近いロケーションでWANアクセラレータ機能や、UTM・Webプロキシ※8機能などを提供します。これにより、SD-WAN上のセキュア・迅速な通信を実現するともに、世界各地で年間21戦週末に開催されるレース期間限定のネットワーク環境構築・撤去の稼働を簡略化でき、時間とコストを削減します。
(3)「SD-Exchange」の活用で各サーキットとマクラーレンの本拠地間通信を高速化
「NFV基盤」は「SD-Exchange」に直結しており、各サーキットの近隣から、英国マクラーレンの本拠地の近くまで、NTT Comが保有するグローバルな高帯域インフラを経由するため、通常のインターネット接続時と比較し、大容量データを瞬時に伝送できます。
(4)データを可視化し、リアルタイムに操作できるダッシュボード画面
ダッシュボード画面では、F1レースで利用する多種多様なデータトラフィックの利用状況を可視化します。ネットワークの空き状況や必要なデータ帯域などが一目で把握できるため、レースに必要なデータを的確かつ瞬時に判断・送信することが可能となり、レース戦略の高度化に貢献します。

2018-03-22T10:22:00+09:00New Research reveals how Hybrid Cloud is really being implemented across 14 European countrieshttps://www.eu.ntt.com/en/about-us/press-releases/news/article/new-research-reveals-how-hybrid-cloud-is-really-being-implemente.html
London, UK – 20 March, 2018 – NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (TYO: 9432), today announced new research into how European businesses are planning for hybrid cloud deployment and what it means for service providers.
The Pan-European Hybrid Cloud Report, commissioned by NTT Com in partnership with Dell EMC, was conducted by research firm 451 Research in 14 European countries, among 1,500 CIOs and enterprise IT managers of large enterprises in key sectors including financial services and insurance, manufacturing, retail, professional services, distribution and logistics. The survey reveals that almost two-thirds of enterprise-sized firms have a strategy or pilot program for hybrid cloud in place. These companies currently manage their cloud environments in different ways but only 16 percent plan to use a single cloud for all requirements. Over 80 percent of enterprises deploy workloads using a mix of cloud types, without fully-integrated or completely formalised interactions between them. This multi-cloud model is considered to be the norm for their IT infrastructure. The adoption of hybrid cloud takes this one step further, creating an environment that delivers a high degree of interoperation and integrated management.
Key findings include:
• Multi-cloud environments are now in use by 84 percent of enterprises for reasons of perceived speed, cost and agility benefits, and hybrid cloud adoption prevails as the preferred route.
• Some 63 per cent of enterprises polled now have a formal strategy or pilot in place for hybrid cloud. Among the advantages being sought are faster deployment, improved business agility and reduced costs.
• Shifting legacy workloads from their current environment ‘as-is’ or ‘after refactoring’ is driving the largest proportion – 44 percent – of enterprise deployments to the private cloud.
• Data security, privacy and regulatory obligations, including concerns about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), will dictate the location of hybrid cloud data, and 45 percent of enterprises rated security and compliance as critically important in their hybrid cloud plans.
• Some 23 per cent of enterprises polled ranked the migration, onboarding and management of cloud workloads as key hybrid-enabling services for which they would seek third-party service provider support.
• Managed security, networking and value-add services are the top three ways that companies plan to tackle identity, compliance and connectivity challenges of hybrid infrastructure.
• Some 48 per cent of large and multi-national enterprises will use Azure Stack hybrid cloud, to complement their existing legacy environments or as a strategic gateway to transform into as-a-service IT delivery operations, aided by their service providers.
There are many reasons for the increased interest in hybrid cloud, according to Damian Skendrovic, CEO, NTT Com Managed Services, the global managed services arm of NTT Com: “Among the top business drivers are the desire to improve the speed of deployment of applications and services to enhance business agility. At the same time this poses challenges including security management, operational complexity and legacy migration.”
And while enterprises may use in-house resources to achieve these goals, many will not be in a position to do so, the study points out. “Service providers will play a vital role as enterprises prioritise their needs for workload migration, onboarding and multi-cloud management services by outsourcing to specialised infrastructure and application service providers,” added Skendrovic.
“Multi-cloud is often considered an interim step toward a fully hybrid cloud setup. Over 80 percent of the respondents to this study currently use multiple cloud environments, with varying amounts of integration, migration and interaction between them. Perhaps most significant is that approximately a quarter of companies already use some form of hybrid cloud – using the definition of seamless delivery of a single business function across multiple environments,” explained Liam Eagle, Research Manager, Voice of the Enterprise: Cloud, Hosting & Managed Services, 451 Research.
